Answer:

  1050 g < weight ≤ 1150 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the weight of the package in grams. The the number of 100-gram increments after the first 250 grams is given by ...

  ⌈(w-250)/100⌉ . . . . . . . where ⌈ ⌉ signifies the <em>ceiling</em> function

and the charges for a package exceeding 250 grams will be ...

  0.65 + 0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 1.55

  0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 0.90 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.65

  ⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10

  8 < (w-250)/100 ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . meaning of ceiling function

  800 < w -250 ≤ 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100

  1050 < w ≤ 1150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 250

The weight in grams could be greater than 1050 and at most 1150 for a charge of $1.55.

What time and day will it be <br> 154hr 36 mins after Thursday 1:26pm?
loris [4]

Answer:

12:02 AM on the next Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

First we wanna find how many days that is.  154/24.  that is 6 and 5/12 days.

5/12 of a day is equal to 10/24, so 10 hours, sice there are 24 hours in a day.

so that's 10 hours and 36 minutes which equals 2:02 pm + 10 hours 12:02 AM on Friday

Now just add the 6 days so 12:02 AM on the next Thursday
